“Two problems, one of my partial making. FIrstly, the case holds the PiZero on standoffs, a short one between one side and the Pi and a second, extending the short ones to the other side of the case to hold that side on. Fine, except that all the standoffs I was supplied with were male to female and then bolts to fasten them to the case sides, no nuts for the male end sticking out of the case side. So it is now stuck together with sellotape.
Second problem was that I bought a piZero, a piZeroCam and a piZero camera case. Spot the mistake? No neither did I until it arrived and found the instructions say the piZeroCam is not suited to the piZero case and indeed it will not work as shown in the instructions. In fact, by inverting the assembly and attaching the pizero itself to the same wall as the camera is on, the cable will stretch and the camera can be fitted into the hole and again, sellotape helps hold it.So I do now have a working system.
But Pi Hut should supply the correct components in all cases and it would be more helpful if they double checked orders such as mine for a sensible combination of purchases. Yes, purchasing the wrong thing was my fault, the website does tell you (found subsequently) that the camera and case are not made for each other, but in the rush of purchase and "quick view", it is easy to get it wrong. Pi Hut could do more.”
“Great case and easy to put together. Just a bit difficult with the zero cam. Had to get a zero cam adapter, and a zero cam cable. The zero cam cable isn't long enough to work with this case.”
“Very sturdy case, fits together easily. The main reason for purchase was to be able to fit a Pi mini camera ideal for my project. Plus the case arrived within 24 hours excellent service thank you.”
